(Bawder)
Daigi took off before I was able to stop him. His feet sloshed through the mud, sending it flying in all directions. In no time, he was consumed by the dense trees.
"Argh! You idiot! You shouldn't go into places like this alone!" I yelled. I growled and began burning some trees to make a path I could use to follow his muddy footprints.
"This place is digusting…" I said as I walked on. "How do they stand this? Oh yeah, they have shoes."
"WAH!" Daigi came running back out of nowhere and slammed into me. He fell backwards into the mud.
"Would you watch where you're going? And why did you run off? And what the heck brought you back?"
"T-T-That!" he pointed to the giant frog that just smashed it's way towards us.
"Holy Mushroom!" I shouted. "That thing is HUGE!
"E-Exactly! Run!" Daigi ran off.
"… Moron. Okay frog, time to make you into frog legs! … Note to self: Work on insults." I breathed fire at the frog. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to affect it at all.
It jumped into the air. I screamed and hid in my shell. The frog landed and then yelped loudly.
Wondering what happened would be stupid, because I already know: The spikes on my shell jabbed it. So, if fire doesn't work, and spikes do, I wonder…
I went up to the frog and punched it. It scooted it back, but it still didn't look hurt. It kicked at me.
I hid in my shell again, and the frog's heel scraped across the top, earning another painful yelp.
"Haha frog! You can't defeat my shell!" I laughed. "Now feel the wrath of the Magikoopas! Magikoopas, attack!"
… Oh yeah, I didn't bring them. This is embarrassing…
"Heh heh… You know, I think we could be really good friends. What do ya say?"
… BAM! I'm sent flying backwards into the air.
(March)
"AAAAAIIIIIIIYAAAAAAH!" I screamed. The bird still had hold of me, and who knows when it would set me down! "Put me down, you stupid bird!"
"EYAH!" it screeched at me. Then it continued flying.
What's with all the giant animals in this place? Since I've been flying, I've seen a giant frog, a giant caterpillar, a giant fish, and of course, A GIANT BIRD!
I looked back to see what was going on when I heard crashing and screaming. From a small area in the forest, I saw fire, the giant frog, and Bawder getting sent flying into the air.
"…" I sighed. What do I have that could make this bird drop me, bite it's foot? …" I sighed and bit the bird's foot.
"EEEEYAH!" the bird released me, sending me plummeting into the forest.
First a branch. "OOF!"
Then, another branch. "OW!"
A bird's nest. "AH!"
A third branch. "YOWCH!"
And then I hit the ground. "OOF!" I coughed loudly and struggled to inhale. "That… hurt…"
I pulled myself up, dusted my off, and looked around. I had landed on an actual solid piece of ground in the middle of the swamp. Surrounding it were multiple puddles of brown mud with many tiny insects and animals hopping and flying around.
"… What an engaging place…" I stated melodramatically. I called out, "Daigi! Bawder! Helloooooo?"
Silence. "Well this sucks. I have no idea where I am, and don't know what way to start going…" I jumped over the puddle, nearly falling in. I start walking.
With the silence of the swamp around me, I have time to think and assess. Bawder and Daigi are probably far behind me. There's no doubt about that. That bird flew for quite a while. Considering that they'll probably catch up, I shouldn't worry about that. I just need to find my way out of this disgusting place.
Now is the time where it hits me. I wish I was training to be Princess March, the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. Now that I have to trek through crappy places like this, I would love to be at home, just lounging around, waiting for Mom to ready my training. I miss her and Dad so much! I'm so lonely without them.
And I wish Daigi had gotten picked up too! I hate being alone right now! Daigi is some one I prefer to have around. He's so nice. He's funny. He's very helpful.
And now that I think about it, I miss Bawder too. No matter how mean she is, she's actually funny. How she complains about… everything. All that stuff she liked to burn. Et cetera. I miss both of them.
Suddenly, I realized that I'm not moving forward. I look down to find an ugly surprise.
"QUICKSAND!"
(Daigi)
I just heard March crying out quicksand, didn't I? I turned tail and ran towards the direction of her cry. I jumped over an unconscious Bawder, who must have been defeated. No surprise there. The frog is nowhere to be seen.
"HELP!" There's her cry again. "I'M STUCK! DAIGI! BAWDER!"
"I'm coming, March!" I cried back.
"DAIGI! HELP ME!"
Finally, I busted through the bushes to find her waist-deep in quicksand and still sinking. "Daigi! Help me!"
I grabbed her hands and tried to pull her out. Unfortunately, she's stuck in deep and this quicksand is sticky. She's starting to drag me down with her. I keep attempting to pull her out, but is seems to make it worst. Just as her head is about to go under, she and I are suddenly yanked out and tossed to the ground.
"OOF!" March landed on top of me, her elbow driving into my stomach. "Ow!"
"Daigi!" March hugged me. "Thank you for saving me!"
"B-But I didn't."
"I did, you two doofs!"
We turned to see Bawder standing there, hands on her hips. "I heard you two struggling all the way back there. I came to help. Since, you know, you can't do anything for yourself."
As Bawder keeps going on, there is a nearly silent gurgling that I can pick up. Suddenly, the quicksand behind us springs to life, forming a creepy-looking monster.
"… and you seriously need to take a bath. I could have found you just by smell. I mean, seriously, ever heard of hot water?"
"BAWDER!" We cried. "BEHIND YOU!"
Bawder turned her head. "Huh?" When she saw the monster, she lost it. "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?"
The monster opened a huge, circular mouth, and it smashes down on Bawder. A giant lump could be seen going down to its stomach. When it releases the ground, Bawder is gone.
"Hey!" Her voice is muffled. "This sucks! I just got eaten!"
"WAAAAAH!"
